Abstract: The present invention provides purified GABAB receptors and receptor proteins derived from rat and human sources, as well as nucleic acids which encode such proteins. The proteins and nucleic acids of the invention share significant homology with the GABAB receptor and the DNA encoding it as specifically disclosed herein. The invention moreover provides methods for isolating other members of the GABAB receptor family using DNA cloning technology and probes derived from the sequences provided herein, as well as novel members of the GABAB receptor family isolated by such methods.

Abstract: The present invention discloses novel DNAs that encode proteins having electrophysiological and pharmacological properties characteristic of glutamate receptors. The glutamate receptors are exemplified by proteins encoded by representative cDNA clones GluR1, GluR2, GluR3, GluR4, GluR5, GluR6 and GluR7, fragments thereof, and functional combinations of these glutamate receptor proteins and/or fragments. DNA sequences from the cDNA clones for GluR1, GluR2, GluR3, GluR4 and GluR5 are especially useful as probes, thus enabling those skilled in the art to identify, without undue experimentation, other members of the L-glutamate receptor family.
